Agricultural Engineering


The objective of the Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural Engineering in UFGD is to develop professionals who have a higher education background to work in the field of Mechanical, Civil, Electrical and Agricultural Engineering with agricultural and agro-industrial production, research, education and community outreach. The goal is to do this through the application of production factors in order to have an increase in productivity and the efficiency of all activities which meet the social and economic interests of the community.
The activities these professionals will do include diagnosing, planning, projecting and evaluating the economic, environmental and social impact of systems that involve energy, transport, infrastructure and equipment regarding irrigation and drainage areas, rural constructions and ambience, electrification, agricultural machines and implements, precision agriculture, agricultural and agro-industrial machinery, system automation and optimization, agricultural product processing and storage, waste treatment and sanitation. These engineers will also be able to work with pollution control, environmental conservation and planning, management of water resources, analysis of susceptibility and natural vocations of the environment, elaboration of environmental impact studies, proposal, implementation and monitoring of mitigation measures and environmental actions.
Agricultural Engineers must do these activities and solve engineering problems that affect rural development through the application of scientific and technological knowledge which is necessary for the advancement of science and for the solution of problems related to agricultural, cattle raising and agro-industrial systems.
